WHAT IS A NAVIGATION SYSTEM?
ABOUT THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This navigation system combines the data
obtained from the vehicle (by gyro sensor)
and from GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites to calculate the current location
of the vehicle. This position is then displayed on the screen, allowing route guidance to a destination.
WHAT IS GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING
SYSTEM)?
GPS is a system developed and operated
by the U.S. Government, covering the entire planet. This navigation system receives three or more different radio signals from NAVSTAR (GPS satellites), orbiting the earth 13,049 miles (21,000 km)
above ground. The data from different sets
of signals will be trigonometrically calculated to obtain the position of the vehicle.
INFO:
The tracking center in the U.S. controls
signals transmitted from GPS satellites.
This control sometimes results in reduced
accuracy or no signal received at all, in accordance with government requirements.
INV1191
ACCURACY OF POSITIONING
The color of the GPS Indicatoron the
upper left corner of the screen indicates
positioning as follows:
O Green: positioning is possible and ac-
curate
O Yellow: positioning is possible but ac-
curacy is minimal
O Gray: positioning is not possible
2-2 How does the INFINITI Navigation System work?
INFO:
For approximately 3 or 4 minutes after
system startup, the GPS indicator
mains gray, even if accurate positioning is
possible.
re-
POSITIONING ADJUSTMENT
When the system judges that the vehicle
position information is not accurate based
on vehicle speed and gyro sensor data calculations, the system will adjust the vehicle position information using GPS signals.
RECEIVING SIGNALS FROM GPS
SATELLITES
Sometimes, satellite reception is weak.
The following are places where signals
tend to be weak:
O Inside tunnels and parking lots in
buildings
O Areas with numerous tall buildings
O Under multi-layered highways
O In a dense forest
Vehicles in these areas may not receive
GPS signals (Indicator color: gray).
INFO:
The antenna for GPS is located on the rear
parcel shelf insidethe vehicle. Do not place
any objects, especially mobile phones or
transceivers, on the rear parcel shelf. Be-
cause the strength of the GPS signal is approximately one billionth of that of TV
waves; phones and transceivers will decrease the strength or may totally disrupt
the signal.
DISPLAY OF GPS INFORMATION
This system displays GPS information.
Please refer to “GPS information display”
on page 11-17.

DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS (MCA)
FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This system is designed to help you reach
your destination, and also performs other
functions as outlined in this manual. However, you, the driver, must use the system
safely and properly. Information concerning road conditions, traffic signs and the
availability of services may not always be
up-to-date. The system is not a substitute
for safe, proper, and legal driving.
Map data covers select metropolitan areas
in the United States.
Map data is available on map DVD-ROM.
For information about map DVD-ROMs,
contact an INFINITI dealer or call the
INFINITI Navigation System help desk at
1-800-662-6200 for U.S., and at 1-800777-0325 for CANADA.
Map data includes 2 types of areas: “Detailed coverage areas” providing all detailed road data and other areas showing
“Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in
many areas and is generally limited to select major metropolitan areas.
For information on which metropolitan areas are in detailed coverage areas, please
refer to the INFINITI Navigation System
Software Booklet (included). When you
purchase an updated map DVD-ROM, a
new software booklet will be provided.
WHEN A GRAY ROAD OR DARK
GREEN ROAD IS DISPLAYED ON
THE MAP
O When you are driving on a gray road af-
ter the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route during route guidance,
automatic re-routing may not start immediately.
O The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for dark green roads.
Therefore, if the destination is set on a
dark green road, the enlarged map display will return to the ordinary map
screen at a point on a suggested road
that is near the destination. Also, the
voice guidance will stop at a point on a
suggested road that is near the destination. Refer to “About route guidance”
on page 4-23 for details.
ROUTE GUIDANCEPOINT OF INTEREST (POI) DIRECTORYADDRESS BOOK
The main feature of the INFINITI Navigation System is Visual and Audio Route
Guidance in selected detailed map coverage areas. Utilizing a network of GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites, the
INFINITI Navigation System tracks your location on the map and directs you where
you want to go.
Once you program a destination covered
by a detailed map, The INFINITI Navigation System will determine a route from
your current location to your destination.
The moving map display and turn-by-turn
voice commands help the driver determine
upcoming turns.
This feature can be especially helpful in
finding unfamiliar locations or businesses.
The system may be unable to set a destination and/or calculate distance when a
destination is outside a detailed map coverage area. Additionally, audio route guidance may not be available if the destination is outside a detailed map coverage
area. For more information on how to program a destination, please refer to section
5.
The INFINITI Navigation System offers an
extensive Point of Interest directory in detailed map coverage areas. This directory
includes a wide variety of destinations
ranging from gas stations, ATMs, and restaurants to casinos, ski resorts, shopping
centers and businesses. By accessing the
Point of Interest directory, you can search
for addresses and phone numbers for a
destination, and with a press of a button,
the INFINITI Navigation System will calculate a route to the destination.
The Point of Interest directory offers many
uses. For example, the directory can be
sorted by the various types of restaurants
near your current location. If you need an
ATM or gas station, the INFINITI Navigation System can point you to the closest
one or the closest one of your favorite
brand.
For more information on how to use the
Point of Interest directory, please refer to
section 6.
Using the Address Book feature, you will
have the ability to store up to 50 locations
in detailed map coverage areas into a personal directory. This is especially useful
for frequently visited locations, such as
your clients, relatives, or friends. The Address Book feature will provide you with
easy access to frequently visited locations
when setting them as your destination.
For more information on how to use your
Address Book, please refer to section 7.
3-2 What features are available on the INFINITI Navigation System?
AVOID AREAAUTOMATIC RE-ROUTEDETOUR
By using the Avoid Area feature, you can
identify areas or freeways that you would
like the INFINITI Navigation System to
avoid when plotting routes. For example, if
you know of a freeway or area that is always congested with traffic, you can program the INFINITI Navigation System to
plot routes that go around that particular
freeway or area.
For more information on the Avoid Area
feature, please refer to section 8.
If you miss a turn while using the Route
Guidance feature, the INFINITI Navigation
System will automatically recalculate a
new route to your destination.
For more information on the Automatic ReRoute feature, please refer to section 9.
If you hear about a traffic accident on the
radio that is 4 miles (6 km) ahead of you
and traffic is backing up fast, you can use
the Detour function to calculate an alternative route that will help you avoid the
gridlock caused by the traffic accident. The
INFINITI Navigation System has the ability to find an alternative route using secondary roads that will return you to primary roads after a specified number of
miles.
For more information on the Detour feature, please refer to section 9.

ABOUT ROUTE GUIDANCE
O The INFINITI Navigation System may
not calculate a route if the current vehicle location is too far away from the
destination. In this case, please divide
your trip by selecting one or two intermediate destinations.
NOTE:
There may be cases that carpool lanes are
included on a suggested road when the
automatic rerouting function is activated
and even if the “Use Time Restricted
Roads” is turned off. Refer to “Setting the
priorities for route calculation” on page
5-35 for details.
O The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for dark green roads.
Therefore, if the destination is set on a
dark green road, the enlarged map display will return to the ordinary map
screen at a point on a suggested road
that is near the destination, and the
distance and direction to the end point
of the suggested road will be displayed
on upper right corner of the screen.
Also, at this time, the voice will say,
“En route to your destination, some
roads contain incomplete map data.
Turn guidance will not be provided in
this area.”
How do I operate the INFINITI Navigation System? 4-23
When approaching the end point of the
suggested road, the voice will say, “Entering the road with incomplete map data.
Please use the direction arrow and distance information to proceed to your destination.”
To reach your destination, refer to the map
screen, always follow actual roads and
regulations and drive safely.
NOTES ON ROUTE GUIDANCE
O The route selected by the system may
not be the shortest, nor are other circumstances such as traffic jams considered.
O Because of the inevitable difference in
road conditions and circumstances between the time you use this system and
the time the information was produced
for the DVD, there may be discrepancies in roads and regulations. In such
cases, follow the actual information
available.
O During route calculation, the map will
not scroll, however the vehicle icon will
move with the actual vehicle’s movement.
O During route calculation, buttons such
as MAP , DEST ,ZOOM OUTand
ZOOM IN and the joystick will be dis-
abled.
O In some cases, after the calculation is
complete, it may take some time to get
the calculated route on the display.
O Waypoints that have been passed will
not be covered by the re-routing calculation.
O If you scroll the map while the sug-
gested route is being drawn, it may
take more time to finish drawing.
O If waypoints are set, the system is cal-
culating multiple routes between way-
points simultaneously, and the following may result.
— If one section (or more) of the routes
between the waypoints is not found,
none of the route will be displayed.
— The route may not connect completely
at some waypoints.
— The route may require a U-turn close to
some waypoints.
O Route calculation may not be completed
in the following cases.
— If there is no main road within a range
of 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle,
a message saying so will appear on the
screen. Try requesting route calculation
when the vehicle is closer to the main
road.
— If there is no main road within a range
of 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the destination or waypoint, a message saying so
will appear on the screen. Try setting
the location closer to the main road.
— If the vehicle is too close to the desti-
nation or if there are no branches of
the roads to the destination. A message
saying so will appear on the screen.
— If it is deemed impossible to reach the
4-24 How do I operate the INFINITI Navigation System?
destination or waypoints because of
traffic regulations, etc.
— If the only route to reach the destina-
tion or waypoints is extremely complicated.
— If the destination, current vehicle posi-
tion or waypoint is within the “avoid
area”.
— If the setting of “avoid areas” covers
the routes to the destination, route calculation may not be possible.
O The following may occur when the route
is being displayed.
— If you are requesting a calculation from
the main road, the origin of the route
may not exactly match the current vehicle position.
— If you are requesting a calculation to a
destination on the main road, the end
of the route may not exactly match the
destination.
— If you are requesting a calculation from
the main road, the system may show a
route from another main road. This may
be because the icon to show the current vehicle position (vehicle icon) is
not set accurately. In that case, park
the car in a safe place and reset the vehicle icon, or continue driving to see if
the vehicle icon appears on the main
road before requesting route calculation
again.
— There are cases in which the system
shows a detoured route to reach the
destination or waypoints, if you set
them from memory or facility information. In order to correct this, you will
have to be careful about the traffic direction, especially when the lanes with
different travel directions are shown
separately. Such places are interchanges and service areas.
— This system makes no distinction be-
tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage). It may show a detoured route even if the road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to
OFF, the route may be set on them. To
avoid this, set a waypoint on another
road type and request calculation.
— Even if the preference is set to OFF for
a ferry line, the route may be set on it.
To avoid this, set a waypoint on a road
and request calculation.
— Ferry lines, except those which accept
only pedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles, are stored in this system. When
using them, take into consideration the
travel time required and operational
condition to decide whether to use
them or not.
ABOUT THE DISPLAY ERROR
The following cases may affect the display
accuracy of the vehicle’s position or travel
direction. The accuracy will return to normal if the driving conditions return to normal.
— When there is a similar road nearby.
— When the vehicle is traveling on a long
stretch of straight road or series of
curves with a large radius.
— When the vehicle is traveling in an area
with a grid road system.
— When the vehicle is making consecutive
S curves.
— When the vehicle is at a large Y-shaped
junction.
— When the vehicle is on a loop bridge.
— When the vehicle is on a snow-covered
or unpaved road.
— When the vehicle has made several
How do I operate the INFINITI Navigation System? 4-25
consecutive turns or traveled zigzag.
— When the vehicle is rotated on a park-
ing lot turntable while the ignition
switch is OFF.
— Immediately after the vehicle is driven
out of a parking garage or underground
parking lot.
— When the vehicle has different sizes of
tires or tire chains.
— When the vehicle is moved immediately
after the engine is started.
VOICE-ACTIVATED CONTROL SYSTEM
(VACS) (if so equipped)
The VACS (Voice-Activated Control System)
provides a safe and convenient way of
controlling vehicle systems such as the
phone, audio, climate control and navigation system. The system is controlled by
the PTT (Push to talk) button. Voice commands are picked up by a microphone.
When giving a command, voice feedback
will be heard through the speaker, and
messages will be shown on the display.
Voice feedback can be turned off if necessary. Personal directories of nametags for
phone dialing and radio station presets
can be created, and spoken command
help is provided.
For details, please refer to the vehicle
Owner’s Manual.
USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, the initialization of the system is carried out, which takes a few seconds. When complete, the system is ready
to accept voice commands. If the button is
pressed before initialization is complete,
the message center display will show
“VOICE NOT READY”.
Operating tips
To get the best results from the system,
observe the following:
O Close the window before operating the
voice-activated control system (VACS).
The voice-activated control system may
not be able to recognize voice com-
mands due to surrounding noises
(travel noise and vibration). Be sure to
operate the system when the vehicle in-
terior is quiet. While the PTT button is
pushed with the automatic climate con-
trol system fan speed on level 4 or 5,
the fan speed is lowered down to level
3.
O After pressing the PTT button, always
wait for the beep before speaking.
O Speak in a natural voice without paus-
ing between words.
